FUN FUN STUFF , thanks for posting. Not a whole lot of us left  :classic_biggrin:  Early 2000s sand show I think we counted 120 plus sandcar builders. 

Crazy to think how outside the norm the original Big 5 was. I remember spending every weekend in the dunes pulling up to the hill or camps and people laughing their ass off at the look. My reply was ..."I know look how funny it looks , wanna take a ride " Even crazier yet knowing we built 20 Big 5's to every Hustler !

I want to find one of your old beam race cars!

 
Awesome! So much fun building those cars! 

Hopefully with more car manufacturers building again we will see the parts availability increase again.

I thought you'd like that. 

 
What would be cool is a battle of the OG builders, find one of there old chassis, buy it and then rebuild

Old School - mid-travel max design, low budget 10-20k max all in (maybe some variance based on availability of parts)

 
Or make all of the builder stand in front of their cars.  Then make them all move over 2 cars and make them build that chassis, whoevers it happens to be.  LOL
